Tipping Point fans were left baffled during Monday's showing as the popular game show unveiled some new changes to the format to mark its 10 year anniversary. The programme usually sees host Ben Shephard welcome four contestants to take part in the giant coin drop machine but instead just three contestants took to the podiums.
It was revealed on the official Tipping Point social media accounts ahead of the new episodes airing on ITV on April 11 that to celebrate being on screens since 2012 "things have been shaken up in the studio a little". It seems the hit game show has decided to follow in the footsteps of the celebrity spin-off Lucky Stars, where just three contestants compete against each other to win jackpot.
But the new change wasn't a hit with all viewers and many Tipping Point fans took to Twitter to share their views with some questioning if it's not broken why fix it?. "Sorry @benshephard I won't be watching the rest of the revamped for the worse series of #TippingPoint #ITV @ITV" Ron Maden tweeted. "Had enough of this. I’ll be back for the chase and hope they haven’t ****** that up #tippingpoint" Arthur Summersell added.
